Situated in one of Auckland’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, the Victoria Ave Renovation project showcases the exceptional talent of interior designer Luciana Borges. Commissioned by discerning clients to enhance the allure of their exquisite 5-bedroom residence, Luciana has seamlessly blended luxury and functionality, transforming the master ensuite into a sanctuary of elegance and tranquillity.
Luciana approached this project with a clear vision: to create a master ensuite that exudes the serenity and opulence of a private spa retreat. The result is nothing short of spectacular, showcasing her meticulous attention to detail and passion for bespoke design.
Central to the bathroom’s sophisticated aesthetic are the Italian porcelain tiles that grace the walls and floors. Chosen for their timeless beauty and superior quality, these tiles add a touch of European elegance to the space. Their subtle patterns and rich textures create a serene backdrop, perfectly complementing the overall design. The gold agents and tap fittings give the bathroom as sense of opulence and Luciana’s commitment to custom-made elements is evident throughout the ensuite. The project features bespoke composite stone surfaces, selected for their durability and refined appearance. These surfaces not only enhance the bathroom’s visual appeal but also provide a practical solution for everyday use.
The lighting is another standout feature. Luciana has crafted a lighting scheme that accentuates the bathroom’s luxurious ambiance while ensuring functionality. Soft, ambient lighting creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, while strategically placed task lighting offers practicality for daily routines.
Custom cabinetry, designed by Luciana herself, adds to the bathroom’s bespoke charm. Each piece is crafted to fit seamlessly into the space, offering ample storage without compromising on style. The cabinetry’s sleek lines and high-quality finishes further elevate the bathroom’s sophisticated look.
